Values perform important functions in our lives and the way in which we view and interact with the
world around us. Some important functions of values are that they provide a set of rules to live by;
guide actions and decisions; give direction to people's lives and help them to solve problems (not
hinder problem solving); influence how individuals perceive and react to others; help determine basic
attitudes concerning personal, social, and philosophical issues; reflect an individual's identity; and
provide a basis for self-evaluation.
